1) What is your budget? (INR or USD)
-- 85K
for the right laptop could go upto 100K
2) What size & weight consideration (if any) would you prefer?
none as such , just that i want it to be robust , nothing fancy
i dont want to attract attention . i would prefer a chunky slab.
and no finger print magnets
3) Are there any brands that you prefer or any you really don't like?
a. Like: thinkpad (a lil skeptical with the lenovo takeover) , xps
b. Dislike: Samsung (i will not consider a Samsung )
4) What are the primary tasks will you be performing with this notebook?
a) programming , development studios , vmware (lots of multitasking + nice keyboard +display)
b) HD movies downloading and viewing (would prefer FULL HD)
c) i use my desktop for more than 10 hours , and the laptop will be the replacement
d) i used to game a lot , not so much these days , but i do occasionally play a game (need a dedicated card)
5) What screen resolution(s) & type (glossy/matte) would you prefer?
a) i would prefer something not too big , say about 14" -15"
b) would definitely prefer matte
6) other specs
processor : INTEL i7 quad core (am done with amd :\)
graphics : dedicated NVIDIA
RAM : 8GB (or more, or atleast with option to add more)
7) Anything else you would like to say?
i go berserk when my computer malfunctions , this being a desktop i can rip it up and fix it myself , and i do so at the earliest. i need my computer for everything i do . ebooks , music , programs , papers , projects everything . what i am trying to stress is this - i need something that can take a fair amount of manhandling and still work like a horse , 24x7 .
and in case it does go broke , i need the after sales to take care of it prompt.
i do understand , i am demanding too much of you guys , but i cant stress enough how worried i am to have to leave home with just a laptop . and yes i wont be buying till JUNE 2013.
8) systems i am considering :
lenovo thinkpad w530 , but its stretching my budget a lil , so i am thinking about t530
i like ideapad y500 , but the faulty touchpad and the flashy design is putting me off for now
